We look at the division of 2640726 by 500 
We're looking to find how many times 500 goes into 2640726.

Step 1:
The number 500 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 500

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 500, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 500

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 264 by 500, we get 0 and a remainder of 264.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 264 leaves us with 264.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 264 and continue: 2640 / 500

On to step 4:
500 goes into 2640 5 times with a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 2500 from 2640, we get 140.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 140, then repeat: 1407 / 500

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1407 by 500, we get 2 with a remainder of 407.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 1000 from 1407 and we're left with 407.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 407 and continue with: 4072 / 500

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 4072 by 500, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 528.0
Subtract 4000 from 4072 to get 72.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 72, then repeat: 726 / 500

Let's proceed to step 7:
500 can be fit into 726 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5281.0
Subtract 500 from 726 to get 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 500 fits into 2260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 260.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5281.4
Subtracting 2000 from 2260 leaves us with 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Step 9:
500 goes into 2600 5 times with a remainder of 100.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5281.45
Deduct 2500 from 2600 and we're left with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
500 can be fit into 1000 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5281.452
Subtracting 1000 from 1000 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
500 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5281.452
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
500 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5281.452
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5281.452, with a leftover of 0.0.
